Balloon From Above
Into the air the colorful balloon flew,
Along with it, the little boy’s dream,
With hopes of reaching a far away land
One of which he has never seen.
Will it reach another child?
Or, will this meet a terrible demise?
He hopes the message that he sends
Will be seen by…another’s eyes.
The message he sends is that of hope,
Of kindness and always of love.
He hopes the balloon reaches anyone
That needs a message from above.
He feels it is better than one in a bottle
For the receiver will think it was sent
From heaven itself, sent with an angel
And for one person alone it was meant.
